Cord Scrapbook Studio

It's the End of An Era!

It all started in the Winter of 1999 with our Delaware, Ohio location. Cord Camera Centers expanded to include a store-within-a-store concept that included the wonderful world of scrapbooking and we've been having fun and making memories ever since!

After 14 years in this wonderful industry, weathering its ups and downs surrounded by wonderful people--scrappers and card-makers and crafters galore--it is with much sadness that we announce that Cord Scrapbook Studio will be closing its doors October 28th.

We thank you for your support, your friendship and for all of the memories we've made in this business over the years--from late night crops to pumpkin carving parties, to National Scrapbooking Day events and Cord Crop Camp. It has been a pleasure serving you!

Over the next couple of weeks, we're offering 75% off ALL scrapbooking merchandise (including clearance). Photo labs and photo specialty services remain available at the Graceland location during this time and we hope to continue to serve you with all your photographic and camera needs at one of our Columbus locations now and in the future.

Once again it's been a load of laughs and memories being one of your favorite local scrapbooking stores over the years! Remember to SUPPORT the LSS--they're filled with inspiration, knowledge and can offer so much more than the average big box chain!

Happy Scrappin'!

The Man of the Hour

With Father's Day coming up on Sunday, I figured it relatively apropos to celebrate the "man of the house" with one of the most popular masculine lines we've had in stores in a long time--Swagger, by Fancy Pants!

Whether the man in your house is your husband, father, son, grandfather or uncle, this collection is the perfect combination of manly patterns and guy-friendly colors--ready and waiting for all your masculine pages!

Sharing her "Man of the Hour" layout with us today is Vicki Harper, the scrapbooking manager at our Indianapolis (Nora) location!  She designed it using strips from the Swagger 6x6 paper pad collaged onto a 12x12 sheet of cardstock and embellished!

2. Mount on a side-fold card measuring 4.5" x 5.75". Attach small blooms in various spots on the grass and coming out of the jar. Lightly color the background or mask the jar and flowers and fill with Copic Airbrush!

3. Stamp your sentiment and you're done!"
